Reminds me of the story when Stuart Pearce was first made caretaker manager of that lot down the road. He couldn't sleep trying to select the team for his first game, squeezing the squad of players into just the eleven positions. Finally, he called out "I've done it". His exhausted wife said "Ok, let's see it". Pearce handed her the team sheet. "Where's Crossley???" (the goalkeeper)

Liam Rosenior's Hull City.

What's Ward thinking of??? Did he not learn anything from the last game? Derby poor generally though, only come to life in fits and starts.

Thommo is back, Thommo is back...

Well at least it won't be Billy Sharp - gone to Hull.

Yup, it's on the BBC Gossip page. Nuno Espirito Santo to replace Cooper within the week.

I'm glad it went as well as these things can go. Often, it's the quieter days after the funeral that can be the most difficult. Now that everything is settling down. Remember Claire, you have a Rams family who will always be here for you now. Please pass on our best wishes aswell to your parents and all those close to Daniel.

It will be a difficult day. Our thoughts are with you all. I think you know, though, just how loved B4 was on here and with his fellow supporters in the stands. I hope that is some comfort to you and the family. Daniel was a great comfort to me and many others during the recent COVID lockdowns and the near demise of Derby County. Without ever actually meeting him, I am glad I got to "know" him. Best wishes to you all.

How well was it observed?

And again today. BBC's citation: While he didn't have to make any world-class saves, Roos ensured the Aberdeen goal remained unbreached. Confident and composed, he fielded everything that came his way That's our Kelle, alright.

We're with you.

Gah, I do miss him. Thanks for helping to fill the void.

Reparations Accepted Mate See ya! (I have to stop doing this now)

Repeating Another's Message Sucks (see page one)

Well we've exhausted the "Warne out", "Keogh's to blame" and the "return of Chris Martin" threads so we do need a new long running theme.

Yeah. Some of us are on the sofa ("settee" in pre - US days).
